Grateful for help

We would like to thank everyone who helped make our 11th annual Freedom Fest another huge success. We had over 2,300 people this year. It could not happen without all the support of everyone involved. Thanks to all of the organizations, churches and sponsors for the giving of your time and money to make this happen.

God bless each and every one of you!
